Dear Families,

Our school will be participating in the SchoolStore program this year. This online program helps our school earn cash without students selling door-to-door, collecting money or delivering products. Over 300 merchants, including WalMart, BestBuy, Family Bookstore, Kohl's and Old Navy, have joined together to give back up to 50% of all sales to our school just for shopping through SchoolStore.com. 

To shop and support our school, simply go to www.schoolstore.com and select our school. 

Participation is key in helping get the word out about our School Store. Soon your child will come home with a lanyard requesting you to help them send emails to friends and family. When you enter email addresses, you'll receive a prize code your child can return for a prize. Thank you for your family's support of our school!

Families, if you feel your child may benefit from individual or group counseling to support their social-emotional well-being, you may use this link to submit a parent referral for your child to receive service from the school counselor.
